Publisher's Summary

A special Chronicles of St Mary's Christmas short story that is sure to entertain. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won't be able to resist Jodi Taylor.

It's Christmas at St Mary's and time for the traditional illicit jump. Except this one is perfectly legal. It's Major Guthrie's last jump. To the Battle of Bannockburn, no less.

An important moment in history for two nations - one that warrants everyone's full attention. But Max soon finds herself grappling with a near-lethal game of pooh sticks, another avian incursion and two turbulent teenagers intent on piloting their own illegal jump. And that's all before they even get near 14th-century Scotland.

For this is St Mary's, and nothing is ever simple.

Between Hope For The Best & Plan For The Worst

This is the bridge story between the above-mentioned novels. The important bit for me is the partial revelation about Markham's beginnings and the fact that he is forbidden(?) to reproduce. There can only be a limited number of reasons for this, but it's finally revealed at the end of Plan For The Worst. The Chronicles of St. Marys' fans should read (or listen) to this Christmas tale. Oh, and I liked the reference to 'Parker', because that's exactly what I was thinking!
